She lost more than $123 to the scam. Yang, a 52-year-old retiree, told Shin Min Daily News that she had gone to Malaysia with her maid at about 4pm on Oct 18. She was told that her maid needed to complete the Malaysian Digital Arrival Card in advance. «I used the maid's phone to find the website and clicked on the first link after searching. After filling in the information, I saw that I was also asked to fill in my credit card information.» Yang then used her own mobile phone to search for the website. «I went to the same website and saw that I was still asked to fill in my credit card details, which I thought was a security measure, so I filled it in.» She then received a text message from the bank within 10 minutes saying that US$94 (S$123) had been charged to her card. Yang immediately called the bank hotline and was told that the bank could not stop the transfer because she had filled in the information herself. Read more
